Pre-labour day

Been a great day today despite seeing the wrong bus hence boarding the wrong bus aft work. Had a great long chat with YS and it was really enjoyable.

Work was a little slow and messy today. Rosie was on leave so the office was exceptionally quiet. Henry, Ray, Koh, Li Chia were on leave. But that made minimal diff anyway. Slow cos time seemed to pass very slowly, messy cos Kwong always gave me work that I'm unfamiliar with to do. But I hv enjoyed that, seriously, cos it was really a great experience and chance to learn how to handle new and unfamiliar stuff independently. Thats why its been a great day!

Vivo

This morn woke up early cos I had to go down to Vivo with 2nd sis to buy a dress for Jasmine's wedding. Haha, so reluctantly we woke up at 8am and started cheong-ing. We manged to leave hse at 9.15am. It took us 1 h to get there cos we got lost and wasted a lot of time going in circles. But that gave me a chance to snap quite some shots of the to-be-completed Ferris Wheel and the to-be-forgotten railway station and tracks. Haha.

It was fun to shop so fast. U shd hv seen the pace we kept and the way we buzzed in and out of shops. Saw a Zara dress that we both liked, but too bad- out of small sizes. Chey. Then we went for lunch at LJS. Surprisingly it took us less than 1/2 h to get to Pasir Ris from Vivo.

We were on our own for the next 2h before meeting at Chinatown for part II. Haha.

Seoul Garden

Went Seoul Garden @ TMall wif 2nd sis this aftn after work. It was my 2nd time and her dunno-how-many'th time there liao yet we still seemed lost like some suagu-gia. Haha. I realise its really not worth it for us to go eat buffet. Cos we barely ate a lot before we raised our white flag and surrender. We paid $48+++ for some chicken, soup and ice-cream. Can u believe it?!! But it was fun thou. Cos we dunno when exactly the bbQ food were cooked, so we just bbq and bbq until it turned almost black. If not,we would just dump them into the soup. And somehow the fire just got 'bigger' and the oil started to 'jump'. The soup just kept on boiling also. Haha. It was really clumsy. So we just bbQed a little and went for the cooked food instead. We had lots of ice-cream. And I meant LOTS. Haha, thou it was ex and not exactly filling, it was FUN!!!

MOE Psychometric Test

I went for the MOE Psychometric Test this aftn. Saw Hui Yan. It was not as tough as the one I've taken in sch, but its not really simple either. I was supposed to think and write a serious problem and ans 58 related mCqs. I felt like writing that the problem was I was supposed to think of a serious problem yet I couldnt think of any. Haha. It wasnt a timed test, so I just wrote some rubbish and got it over and done with. Anyway, Iwasnt really interested in that scholarship cos of 2 reasons.1 of them being the courses offered werent of Engineering nature. The other reason...thats for me to know, for you to find out. Haha.

In any case, this test was still fruitful cos I made a new fren-Yong Sheng. Didnt know that we actually have Kai Sheng and Xiao Han as our frens in common. Haha.

Free yet busy

Things at Jln GB finally came to a small full-stop. After the terrible midnite shift on 10apr. Haha, I didnt go to work on 11apr cos I only left that remote place at 2am plus, reached home at 3am, finished the report at 6am, finally went to sleep. How to wake up at 7pm for work leh?Hehe. Right now, its no longer my biz to go there. I just have to update the schedule and check how's Vincent doing. Its ok. But its funny that I'm still so busy. But then i guess its only temporary. Once sch starts, things are gonna get back to normal. An abnormal kind of normal cos my home would be my hostel. I know I ever said that I didnt want to stay in hostel, but things have changed.

Jalan Gali Batu

It all started on 26 Mar. That morning Crystal came to me and told me that Sunway will be taking over a stockpile at Jalan Gali Batu near Kranji. She asked if I would consider going over to handle the admin work. I refused to the offer and yet I was sent over that very aftn. At least Wong and Crystal was with me. My first OT-til 7pm. That stupid Song from Surbana went back with me cos he said Marine Parade was along the way. Eventually, the half an hour journey turned out to be an hour and the cab fee was $29.80. Never had i spent so much money on cab! Luckily can reimburse. The next day I was told to be there by 7.30am. But the cab was early, so I reached at 7am. That day ended early at abt 4pm.

Job was extreme. Thats all I can say. Its either very busy-thats when all the trucks come at the same time, or its very free-thats when there are no truck at all. What i need to do is to weigh the trucks, print the Delivery Orders (DO), sign and print the DO Summary at the end of the day. The report to be done using Excel is an additional hwk given by S. Its simple.

AllI can say is that the stockpile is a lifeless place. Not as if there's nobody there,but u cant expect much pple when its in such a secluded and deserted area, surrounded by stones, forest and foreign workers' domitory. Some of my colleagues joked that the stones were of equivalence to diamond. Of cos, given that granite and sand are like precious gems to construction-related firms. It gets dark at night, but I'm never afriad. Dont ask me why. Twice I worked til 9pm/10pm plus, and pple were all worried abt my safety. But I wasnt scared at all, I swear.
It takes a long-legged person abt 5mins to walk from the container to the toilet and 20mins to complete the trek round the 20mm aggregate stockpile. I believe the view (esp of sunrise and sunset) one gets on top of the hill of stones would be marvellous, but I havent got the chance to climb up yet. Perhaps tmr I will.

On 31-03, I worked til 9pm plus. That was only for 187 loads. I walked out to the mainroad with Ah Boon and Song to wait fora cab. The driver was Ah Boon's face. That day was horriblest cos S kept on calling me on my hp. Almost once every hour. I bet my bill's gonna be a bomb this mth. Last nite was even later. Til 10pm plus for 237 loads. This time round S didnt call me. Phew! But I know he was just worried. Andrew drove me to and fro the toilet in his pick-up yest. Wee Bee came as I was printing the summary and he drove me and Ah Tan toYew Tee MRT Station. I took a cab from there. 1 thing that's bothering me's whether I have dropped my hairclip in Wee Bee's car. Hopefully not-cos I sat at the front seat yest and I'm not sure wat happens if his wife finds a hairclip there.

Tmr's probably my last or 2nd last time going there, cos Wong said he found someone else already. Perhaps it was my initial reluctance that led to the hurry to find new staff. But I couldnt tell him now that I'm actually used to it already. I guess its ok. I have no choice anyway. I'm actually quite confused cos Rosie's back and things have changed more than just a mere bit. Being over at the stockpile would remind pple more of my existence. Is it? Or will it make pple forget abt my existence cos I'm not in the office? I dont know.

But then again, its only a job. Just let it be.
